The Favor of Jesus the Christ

Isaiah 61 againPrayer: That you remember always the Love  God has  for you!

 

 

Isaiah 61

The Year of the LORD’s Favor
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,    because the LORD has anointed me  to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,  to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,  to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor  and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,  and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy  instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,  a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.   They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated;  they will renew the ruined cities  that have been devastated for generations.
Isaiah 61 T shirt

Strangers will shepherd your flocks;  foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.   And you will be called priests of the LORD,  you will be named ministers of our God.  You will feed on the wealth of nations,   and in their riches you will boast.  Instead of your shame  you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace   you will rejoice in your inheritance.  And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,   and everlasting joy will be yours.  “For I, the LORD, love justice;   I hate robbery and wrongdoing.   In my faithfulness I will reward my people  and make an everlasting covenant with them.
 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge  that they are a people the LORD has blessed.”  I delight greatly in the LORD;  my soul rejoices in my God. 

Isaiah 61:11For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.   For as the soil makes the sprout come up  and a garden causes seeds to grow,  so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness   and praise spring up before all nations. Isaiah 61 NIV
